Redesigns

Recently I started playing a game called Genshin Impact. Its become extremely popular in the short time it has been out. It is a game created by a chinese game company called Mihoyo. This game consists of lots of characters and places. Its free to play which is probably why it has become so popular. Recently there has been a few design changes to their key characters that in many ways censor alot of skin on these characters. Though when the designs were announced they were not explicit as to why, its heavily suggested their decsion was swayed by new censorship media laws in china. It is unclear right now whether western players will also recieve the change. It made me wonder how it will be for new players now experiencing the game with these new redesigns and whether it would affect any  of their opinions on characters. I thinks its pretty incredible, the importance of good design is.
